I Do Solemnly Swear . . .

July 18, 2018July 17, 2018

We are a deeply stupid country, writes Dana Milbank in the Washington Post.  Just ask our “very stable genius” president.  Laugh through the tears of our national emergency.


Writes George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum in the Atlantic:


. . . The reasons for Trump’s striking behavior—whether he was bribed or blackmailed or something else—remain to be ascertained. That he has publicly refused to defend his country’s independent electoral process—and did so jointly with the foreign dictator who perverted that process—is video-recorded fact.

And it’s a fact that has to be seen in the larger context of his actions in office: denouncing the European Union as a “foe,” threatening to break up nato, wrecking the U.S.-led world trading system, intervening in both U.K. and German politics in support of extremist and pro-Russian forces, and continually refusing to act to protect the integrity of U.S. voting systems—it all adds up to a political indictment, whether or not it quite qualifies as a criminal one. . . .


Yep.  We all watched.  It’s time for Republican patriots to fulfill their oath of office.

Quote of the Day

"We've forgotten all the sacrifices that the people who've gone before us made to give us this wonderful life that we have. We accept it; we take it for granted; we think it's our birthright. The facts are, it's precious, it's fragile -- it can disappear."

Ross Perot, 1988
